Uniswap Plagued by SEC Investigation and Shadowy Banking Moves
By Vin Narayanan on February 25, 2022
I’m worried about Uniswap (UNI). Uniswap is one of crypto’s most well-known decentralized exchanges. UNI is the governance token for Uniswap. And since September, the price of UNI has been plummeting. In fact, not even bitcoin hitting its all-time high of more than $68,000 in November could rescue UNI from its downward spiral. So what exactly is going on with UNI? In the first few days of September, investors…
The Risks of Keeping Your Crypto on an Exchange
By Adam Sharp on February 18, 2022
This week the Canadian government ordered crypto exchanges to freeze certain accounts tied to the Ottawa freedom protest. This set off a wave of concern over the risk of government seizing crypto assets. And that’s a very real danger.
Federal Reserve Threatens a 0.5% Interest Rate Hike
By Adam Sharp on February 11, 2022
The Federal Reserve is now openly hinting at a 0.5% interest rate hike, which could come at any time. It might do a 0.5% hike just to look like it’s trying to control inflation. But I remain confident that it can’t actually raise rates back to…
Why You Should Have 70% of Your Crypto Portfolio in Bitcoin
By Adam Sharp on February 4, 2022
What a beautiful bounce today for the crypto market. In the last 24 hours, bitcoin has ripped higher by about 10% and is now back over $40,000. Altcoins are following (for now). Most altcoins have gotten absolutely slaughtered lately. “Ethereum-killer” Solana…
The Crypto Market Seems to Have Hit Bottom… for Now
By Vin Narayanan on January 28, 2022
2022 has already been an interesting year for crypto. How interesting depends on your perspective. Let’s take bitcoin, for example. Here what bitcoin’s chart looks like: 1 Day: +0.33% 5 Day: +5.4%…
Wholesale Inflation Rose 9.7% in 2021
By Adam Sharp on January 14, 2022
This week, news broke that the Producer Price Index – which measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output – rose 9.7% in 2021. This was a shocking realization for many. We’re near 10% wholesale inflation!…
Cosmos Takes Off Despite Crypto Market Correction
By Adam Sharp on January 7, 2022
Most of the crypto market has had a pretty rough week. Bitcoin’s down around 12%. Ethereum is down 15%. And a lot of altcoins are down 20% to 30%. However, our new portfolio pick Cosmos (ATOM) is taking off. It’s up 31% over the last week!…
Ethereum Scaling Offers New Crypto Opportunity
By Adam Sharp on December 10, 2021
This week I wrote a piece for HIVE Blockchain, a crypto miner I am consulting for. In it, I went over a very interesting space: Ethereum scaling solutions. But for ETH to go truly mainstream, it needs lower fees…
Bitcoin Hasn’t Reached Its Peak Yet
By Adam Sharp on December 3, 2021
Bitcoin has pulled back significantly, but I still think we’re in a long-term uptrend. I just don’t believe this cycle has peaked yet. With a high of $69,000 so far this year, we’re only up about 3.5x from the 2017 cycle high of around $20,000. In…
Portfolio Update: Haven Protocol Makes Promising Progress
By Adam Sharp on November 19, 2021
Our speculative portfolio coin Haven Protocol has bounced back pretty well from its recent troubles. It had an incident back in July where a hacker exploited a vulnerability. But Haven recently launched a successful fork of version 2.0. (Note the nice social traction…
How to Time a Crypto Exit
By Adam Sharp on November 12, 2021
I am a long-term investor. I make investments while expecting to hold them for at least 10 years. But I do plan on selling some crypto during this bull market at some point. I may sell as much as half. But I don’t think…
Blindly Believing the Fed
By Adam Sharp on November 5, 2021
I came across an interesting opinion piece on CoinDesk today titled “Will Bitcoin Win When the Fed Stops Buying Bonds?” Beginning in November, the Fed will purchase $10 billion fewer Treasury bonds and $5 billion fewer mortgage-backed securities (MBS) each month…

We have taken measures to make sure that mistake does not happen again. Additionally, we’re in the process of updating our portfolio provider. Once that change is made, it…
Layer One Ethereum Competitor Performing Well
By Adam Sharp on October 29, 2021
Layer one blockchains competing with ethereum have been on FIRE, especially Solana (SOL). One of our portfolio coins falls in that blockchain category, and it’s been doing extremely well too. In fact, it’s been doing well enough that some of you might be thinking about taking profits.
Bitcoin Poised for More All Time Highs
By Adam Sharp on October 22, 2021
Bitcoin has pulled back from the all-time-high of around $67,000 it reached earlier this week. But it’s still looking great at around $60,000. A pullback here is actually quite healthy. We don’t want it to go up vertically. Parabolic (near vertical) moves inevitably correct hard. Steady…
Bitcoin Keeps Outperforming Altcoins
By Adam Sharp on October 15, 2021
Bitcoin continues to perform well against altcoins, after lagging significantly earlier in the year. It’s hard to say how altcoins will react if bitcoin goes above $100,000. They may soar higher right along with it. Or they may struggle for attention in the face of a…
